Sheri McCormack Named Academic All-American

Breadcrumb Navigation

Hope College’s Sheri McCormack has been chosen to the 2013-14 Capital OneAcademic All-America® Division III Men’s and Women’s Track and Field/Cross Country
Teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

The recent graduate from Holland, Michigan (West Ottawa HS), is one of 15 female athletes
on the First Team and 45 honored total on either the First, Second or Third Teams.

McCormack is the second Hope athlete to receive CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-America®
recognition during the 2013-14 school year. Basketball player Megan Kelley of Rockford,
Michigan (Rockford HS) was named a Second-Team Academic All-American in February.

McCormack has been accepted to the University of Michigan’s Dental School. She held
a 3.91 GPA at Hope while pursuing a major in Spanish and a minor in chemistry.

Hope track & field coach Kevin Cole said McCormack’s focus and drive enables her to
excel.

“She knows what she wants on the track, in the classroom and out of life,” Cole said.
“She does what needs to do to get those things done. I’ve had her as an athlete and
in one of my classes. She stands out above most everybody else.”

In May, McCormack finished sixth in the nation in the 1,500 meters at the Division
III Outdoor Track & Field Championships. She became Hope's first All-American in the
event.

Last fall, McCormack placed 17th at the Division III Women's Cross Country Championships.
She recorded the Flying Dutch's third-highest individual finish at nationals. She
also helped Hope place ninth in the team standings and match the second-highest finish
in team history.

McCormack repeated as 1,500-meter champion at the Michigan intercollegiate Athletic
Association Field Day earlier this month. She earned All-MIAA track & field honors
for the third time this spring.

McCormack was named the MIAA's Most Valuable Cross Country runner last fall.
